A top restaurant in the small harbor town of Hólmavík in the Westfjords.
Upon entering, you are kindly greeted and nicely shown to your seat. I immediately received a carafe of water. I ordered the fish soup as an appetizer and a four-cheese pizza as the main course.
The fish soup was absolutely delicious and was served with bread and butter with lava salt (charcoal). The soup consisted of pieces of cod, shrimp, and a few mussels. The soup was seasoned just right.
The pizza itself was served with a redcurrant jam; it's the first time I've seen this and I had to try it. This gives the pizza a completely different flavor. As a result, the four cheeses don't overpower the taste. A top-notch pizza.
And to drink, of course, I chose a beer brewed right there in Hólmavík itself, namely the Sorti, a dark lager. As a Belgian, I have to say they did a good job; a beer with the right flavors. It's a pity that the brewery in the harbor itself was closed (or maybe I don't know the opening hours) and I couldn't visit it to try the other two beers.
So, a top restaurant. Do keep in mind that it is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and there aren't many other dining options.
